Well said.  I do believe that we should do the old fashion boring things li=
ke balacing a checkbook once a month.  Computers may not make mistakes but =
the humans that push the buttons do. Computers do make life easier.  I have=
 found that my tapes of the shows really did clean up nicely and as soon as=
 I get this other vcr hooked up I will start making tapes and I will assure=
 you that I do take PayPal, personal check, and I think several still on li=
ne would tell you that I trusted them and just sent them the tapes in the p=
ast and trusted them to send me a check.  I have never been stung by any on=
e in our group and most of them appreciated my time enough that when the ch=
arges were $3.8?  they even sent a $5.00 bill.  It is nice to have old fash=
ioned groups where cash spends and you word means something.  Let you know =
when they are ready.  Betty the Okie in Iowa

  Okay everyone,=20

  Before we get all whacko about hackers, etc., stop and think for a moment=
 about where most of your money is anyway.=20

  It's in a bank...computer!=20

  Just because it's in a bank's computer as opposed to your own, doesn't me=
an it's out of reach of hackers and the like.  It also doesn't mean that it=
's out of reach of the so called dishonest employee.  Minimum wage or not, =
a crook is a crook no matter what you pay them.=20

  We live in a time where we rely heavily on computers.  Quite frankly, I l=
ike the convenience and wouldn't want to go without them.  If you would lik=
e to go back to the "old fashioned way of doing things," that's your choice=
.  Personally, I say upgrade your firewalls and virus protection software r=
egularly.  Enjoy the convenience of your home computer.  And the next time =
you hand over your charge card to a store employee or cash a check at the b=
ank counter just hope they're having a good day, and they don't owe their b=
ookie any money.  (smile)=20
